Can someone more learned that I please explain how I can recognise an autistic dog during my next consults?

you'll know when see one, they stand out a mile. They can memorise telephone directories and are usually named Rainman.

Do they have a Tom Cruise attached to them Clive?

I've never heard of a newspaper republishing exactly the same story twice.

Shorely shome mishtake? The Mail prints the same stories EVERY day; it's just the names that change.

[quote user="Anthony Todd"]Yeah but it's republished today[/quote]

What do you mean when you say it's republished today?

On the website, it appears that is an old, archived article that was published in March last year, and hasn't been republished, it's just still there (as all articles are).

Have you seen it republished in todays printed newspaper? That would surprise me. I've never heard of a newspaper republishing exactly the same story twice.

I'm not sure what happened here?

I was searching google for "cheap dog vaccines" and this link came up 6th, when I clicked to it I could see todays date on the top, but the article is from March 2010 and is not in the news today as far as I can see ??

It's a bit worrying that any member of the public searching for "cheap dog vaccine" is linked to this garbage.

As in it's in the paper version again? Must be a slow news day if it is cos as Arlo says that article was around in exactly the same form last year.

That's quite an old article :) (easy to miss the 'last updated' date, often do it myself).

Yeah but it's republished today so it's NEWS and as fresh as today's bread and milk! and will have have quite an impact.

[quote user="plantagenet"]I wish they would publish[/quote]

Here is a good test to see just how well the BVA act in our interests and whether it is "The Voice of the Profession" or we are.

We've been round and round vaccines before of course so if they're on the ball they'll look the thread up and publish the references.

There is so much scientific evidence refuting all the points raised but will the BVA robustly defend and refute this?

Let's hope we don't get the usual "all vaccines are tested and licensed etc." emolliental and politically correct response but some hard scientific evidence and challenges to state cases and statistics so they can be publicly scrutinised.

We shall see.

I wish they would publish "I watched my puppy die of parvo" articles or a similar on on a child's rabbit expiring from myxo.
